Welcome to my kindergarten classroom! My classroom is filled with amazing children! For many of them, this is their first experience in a classroom setting. They come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some children know how to read, and some don't know how to hold a book. It is my job to provide a positive learning experience for ALL of them. My classroom is a space filled with joy, encouragement, and learning! We enjoy working together in small groups and participating in hands-on experiments and activities.
My Project
The Ultimate Field Guides from National Geographic Kids and magnifying glasses can help connect children with nature. Exploring nature can provide a sense of wonder and inspiration in children. Nature play is so important for development in cognitive, physical, social, and positive sense of self.
Children are spending less time outdoors than ever before.
It is common for children to have trouble focusing in the modern world with media and technology. Nature has been found to have restorative effects on attention.
Nature can be used as a subject of academic inquiry, not just a break between learning. The changing environment found outdoors provides ample opportunities for children to explore and learn through question-asking, observation, experimentation, and reflection.
